• Notes

  In the original Sheldon Magazine this John Sheldon #8 of Providence, Rhode Island, husband of Joanna Vincent, is listed as the son of John Sheldon #2. However, the direct male descendants of John of Providence were not a yDNA match to the other branches of that family. Instead he is a match to the descendants of Godfrey Sheldon of Maine and Sheldon's of Derbyshire, England.
